This repository is a distribution of pre-compiled frameworks, headers, and documentation for developing jailbreak tweaks specifically targeting the roothide jailbreak environment. It bundles well-known tweak development libraries (Cephei, CepheiPrefs, CepheiUI, Comet, AltList) with the Theos build system integration. The repo provides no source code for the frameworks themselves; only compiled binaries, public headers, and localization resources are included. The primary purpose is to serve as a ready-to-use SDK for tweak developers, offering components such as application list controllers with search and section filtering (AltList), preferences management with key-value observing (Cephei), preference UI controllers with tint customization (CepheiPrefs), and SwiftUI-based app pickers, color pickers, and respring buttons (Comet). Documentation explains the roothide API (jbroot, rootfs) and the differences from rootless jailbreaks. The repo is not an application or data pipeline but a library distribution artifact for a specific jailbreak ecosystem.
The LLM identified 3 files worth highlighting for reuse:
Base class for listing installed applications in a preferences pane. Provides predicate-driven section filtering (All, System, User, Hidden), search bar integration, asynchronous icon loading, and alphabetic indexing. Reusable in any jailbreak tweak that requires app selection UI.
Root list controller for tweak preference bundles. Supports custom tint color, hue adjustment, and appearance settings (dark mode). Provides a foundation for building consistent, themed preferences interfaces.
Preferences management utility with notification-based key-value observation and property list serialization. Allows reading and writing settings with change callbacks, decoupling preference storage from UI. Reusable across any tweak that needs persistent configuration.
